Playing an extra playoff game could work out just fine financially for Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. ESPN.com reports Sanchez will earn $250,000 in contract bonuses for each playoff win, with up to $1.875 million available if the Jets win the Super Bowl 2011.
Citing multiple sources, the report says, "The Jets will pay Sanchez $250,000 for each playoff victory, starting in the wild-card round. Therefore, if Sanchez leads the Jets to the Super Bowl and doesn't win it, he will make an additional $750,000 in postseason bonuses. "Sanchez would get the full, $1.875 million for winning the (Super Bowl) ..."
The Jets, with a late season-slump that included a loss to AFC East champion New England, must play a Wild-Card Round game, meaning it would take three victories to reach the Super Bowl. The Jets won two playoff games with Sanchez last season before losing to the Colts in the AFC Championship.
Sanchez injured his shoulder two games ago in a win at Pittsburgh before playing the enitre game in a loss at Chicago. He could be rested for all or part of the regular-season finale Sunday against the Bills at New Meadowlands Stadium.
